Visiting U.S. Group Experiences Gaza Rocket Barrage
(JNS) Phyllis Chancy Solomon - Israeli residents of the Gaza Envelope say life in the region is 99% heaven and 1% hell. During our Jewish National Fund-USA Gaza Envelope Task Force mission to the region, we experienced a barrage of rockets from Gaza, a sobering reality check on that 1%. I want the residents to know how appreciative I am for the concern they showed to our group while we were under fire. It felt like they were more concerned for us than they were for themselves. They took great care to make us as safe as possible. Our loyalty, respect and solidarity with these people remain unending. The writer is chair of Jewish National Fund-USA's Central New Jersey Board.
